ABSTRACT:
An exhaust system is provided with a stamp formed connector for joining a pair of upstream exhaust pipes to at least one downstream exhaust pipe. The connector includes a pair of plates that are formed to define opposed channels. The plates are secured in face-to-face relationship such that the channels define exhaust passages extending between the plates. The passages are curved to achieve the most desireable routing of exhaust pipes. Additionally, the exhaust pipes may be bent in close proximity to the connector to achieve most efficient routing of pipes on the vehicle. The bending of the pipes and the curved configurations of the passages in the muffler are intended to substantially equalize travel lengths for exhaust gases between upstream ends of the exhaust system and the muffler.
